Egypt's Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit will start a four-day African tour which includes Chad, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea Monday to deliver messages from President Hosni Mubarak to his counterparts in the three countries, the official Middle East News Agency (MENA) reported Saturday. "The tour comes in the framework of Egypt's keenness on developing relations with its African brothers and deepening bilateral relations with these countries," spokesman for the Foreign Ministry Hossam Zaki said Saturday. The talks are expected to focus on the situation in Chad, the future of the Chad-Sudan relations, issues of maintaining regional security in the Gulf of Guinea, and the challenges which face maintaining security in the Sahel and Sahara area, according to Zaki.
